I have recently uploaded a joomla website in the web. I used the google webmasters and I uploaded the sitemap, which I made using the xmap component of joomla. This happened about 4 days ago, and now I get Submitted: 12 Indexed: 11 in the webmasters.

What I find out searching in google is that if I copy and paste the url of my website (or of a submenu item) it will be found. But using keywords, or even copying and pasting titles, does not find my website at all. I read about the google spiders that crawl in the web, but I am not sure I get it:

• Is it that it needs time to update the content of my website in google's database?

• Can I do something else in order to provide some keywords or content (I read somewhere about a "robots.txt file", but I think this provides a link to the sitemap once again)?

Any information on this will be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance

Google doesn't guarantee that we'll crawl or index all of your URLs. However, we use the data in your Sitemap to learn about your site's structure, which will allow us to improve our crawler schedule and do a better job crawling your site in the future. In most cases, webmasters will benefit from Sitemap submission, and in no case will you be penalized for it
